just replaced rear bearing and inner tub on a sport Duet Model# wfw9150ww01 and called whirlpool for the extra concession they are suppose to give us on these since i didnt put the front portion of the outer tub they are making me go out and replace the front tub there was no wear what so ever on this front tub has anybody had any problems with this when u just replaced the inner and rear portion of the outer tub the lady from the partner team said there is a 77% failure rate if u dont replace the front i think bull shit i really dont want to go out there and do this repair all over agian i will order the front and just say i did it but if its gonna fail i will go out there and do it again any thoughts?

Funny that you brought this up. Whirlpool wants to come up with a complete outer tub, with the inner wash basket complete with the counterweights and the shaft assembly. All because techncians have complained that the disassembly and reassembly takes too long and having to order the rear half of the outer tub and the inner wash basket separately takes up too much space in the van.
